Quote:So are you asking how to get your new melee characters to top level as fast as possible so you can get bored with them too?Originally Posted by Angelxman81
I got rush because I will have less time to play due to work in next year.
Im also a 40 month vet player and I came back with GR. I know the game and I also have 5 50s but I got bored of them.
So I want the brute and the scrapper to be 50 because I enjoy more melee characters.
Is just I only catch short running teams, very casual or not team at all.

You know you already have the FASERIP thread still going don't you Steel? Attention issues?
*drops ball of shiny silver tinsel into thread to see what Steel does next*

About the sentient machine thing. All your ifs and buts mean nothing but a philosophical dispute until the day we have a true sentient machine.

Quote:I get what you are saying. But at any level past Spidey, Wolvie et al. You get the RP part of it all. My one tank might be able to press 100 tons but the other just 40 tons but they are both /SS tanks. To fit this into Steelclaws CoH->FASERIP can't be done.It's impossible to fit everyones RP view of their own character.Originally Posted by BrandX
This is true, but in CoH terms, I'd say that's more of a concept thing than anything else.
CoH doesn't allow one to make Thor's/Hulk, outside of their concepts/description.
What CoH does, and tend to put people at the height of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Dare Devil, Batman, ect...
Heroes who would generally beable to take on mass of badguys, but could be taken down by them just as well.
For concepts like Thor, it would need to be a group of other gods really or at least a group of Spider-Man's/Dare Devil's...ect...ect.

And, best of all... we have cookies.
But Guardian is a great server. One idea is that you roll up a new character on every server and joining their foremost global channel and stand around in Atlas for an hour or two. Then you can choose the one you like the most.

Weapon customization.

First no color and now no new animation !
But there is weapon customization. And some of the weapons can be colored.

Why can't we get a choice of types of shot fx ? Not all supes with guns use bullets ! Why can't we get a choice of bullet fx or laser fx or plasma fx ? And what about a sound option for ARs ? I could live with the fx but at least give us the option for a laser/energy type weapon sound. Nothing is worse than trying to get into your sci-fi/hi-tech/ advanced toon than always having to hear BOOM BOOM BOOM going off.
Or why can't say an energy blaster be able to pick a gun model instead of it coming from his body as a short term fix ?

Why are we punished for wanting a base ?
We aren't. Some things you have to put work into.
Quote:
So since the super leader option alot of people are afraid to invite new people and have started kicking people from SGs in these troubled economic times in case they have to miss a month or 2 and live in fear of a coup of a group they have built up over the years.
So don't be paranoid. And only put people you trust into your groups instead of broadcasting invites in Atlas Park.
Quote:
Smaller groups mean a lot less prestige
No, smaller groups means it may take longer to build up prestige, and if the players are active, you probably won't notice.
Quote:
[ and those poor souls who really want a small batman-esque type batcave/SG ] so it will take FOREVER to build anything at the current prices.
Prices were recently dropped. I agree a few things could still use adjusting (the "social" rooms that take nothing but decorative are too expensive for what they are, and a generator/control unit between the combo and first tier would be nice) but overall it's MUCH better now.

The sick bay tel. addition needs a BAZILLION HPs to be able to acquire for only a small gain .
... so don't use it? Honestly, I tend to use the hospital anyway. *shrug* The med porter is really more of a PVP item... then again, IIRC, the PVP zone medbays now heal up to full again.
Quote:
Base Teleporters..... So we scrimp and save and spend all our influence to buy prestige to build a second teleporter room [ becasue for some reason teleporters can't support 4 beacons ] BUT if you have to move your base around to accomodate the new room and you have to delete your current teleport room you have to sell your teleporters because YOU CAN"T set them anywhere temporarily outside a teleport room forcing you to spend more money to build the teleporters again. WHY can't we set room specific items in other rooms,making them nonfunctional of course? That alone would allow many more options for base decorating.
This, at least, I agree with. The base editor needs love - including a temporary holding area. That said, the teleporters are created with easily obtained salvage (not base salvage any more.) You don't lose prestige when you sell them - you get it back. Create new ones. This is more of an issue with things like Enhancement and Salvage racks - if you delete them, you lose anything inside.

Why only straw and bloody medical beds ? It just goes on and on.
And why still only Tech and Arcane ? There are hundreds and thousands of terrain,interiors,set pieces in the game and we only get 2 sets ? Why ? Does it really break the game if I use the Liongbow base items in my base so it doesn't look new when I go into Longbow bases in a mission ?
People have been asking for new sets, styles and items for years. It's a matter of "when there's time." I believe there's a request thread in the base section.

I didn't find it too difficult to parse Eiko in Mutants and Masterminds. However, my Fire/Dark Corruptor was a lot harder to handle because M&M doesn't deal with debuffs very well.

I think this thread is one of the best we have had in years. In my job I most everyday struggle against 'the evil Empire' on behalf of others who either can't or won't stand up for themselves. I do this since I was voted onto this position and I believe I got the votes because of my moral convictions. This leads on many occasions to conflict with 'the evil Empire' and now and again to a real threat to me continuing in my profession.
I just the last few days this have led to me facing the possible choice of either having to step down from my position and in so doing betraying my beliefs and my own moral code as well as those I fight the fight for or lose my job and then putting myself and my family in a tricky situation with all that a loss of an income would mean. Still I don't think I can step down and abandon all those who think I'm doing good.
This is from the real world and in my own reality but I doubt I'd be any different if I was a superhero for real. I wouldn't kill anyone on purpose. Ever. I am absolutely certain that there's always an option. About the villain always escaping, well I'll get to catch him again, and again, and again. That's what heroes do. Ripping his arms and legs off? A bit drastic don't you think? In the save your loved one or ten unknown people I think the only heroic choice is to go for the 50-50 option. Even if I fail as the hero it's still the villains fault and blame if anyone gets killed. You could argue that the hero is partly to blame if either of the two other options is chosen. In the question about being forced out of the hero business if you didn't reveal your identity to the authorities I would just ignore the decree and go about my job as a hero. That's is in part what the secret identity is for in my book.
I think what it all comes down to is how strong you yourself are in your moral convictions about what you're doing is right. If you are the vigilante type like Batman and others you fight for yourself and not so much for the greater good in many cases so you don't really care what people think. But if you are a superHERO you should strive to be a role model as well as a champion for justice and a doer of good deeds. If the public turns on you then you should realize your set of standards your fighting for isn't what the people want and you should hang up your cape. If they don't and all you have to face is a rigid government or a stubble headed newspaper monger I say keep fighting the good fight.

You know if this keeps going we'll soon have developed the CoHRPG by accident.
I acctually got to thinking if I could translate CoH into Villains & Vigilantes, which was my Superhero RPG of choice, but two things got in the way. They work in two very different ways and I'm not crazy like Steelclaw.

FIGHTING: 54
AGILITY: 26
STRENGTH: 94
ENDURANCE: 108
REASON: 47
INTUITION: 20
PSYCHE: 27
I'd say his fighting skill and reason is a tad high compared to my picture of my main. And getting 108 in endurance is nice to see in a character who is on the last slivers of blue in many a fight. Although I have never played MSH I just love these kinds of comparative lists and computations.
A+ to Steelclaw for this.

Wow! Good job! And I can relate to the 10k. Next time you'll come in under an hour.
